Key Strengths

• Owned end-to-end delivery of a real-time analytics dashboard (backend + frontend) from design through launch and iteration
• Performance optimization: reduced API latency via PostgreSQL query tuning, indexing, and Redis caching
• Scalable event-driven data pipeline design using Kafka + Go workers with batching and horizontal scaling
• Reliability engineering for ingestion pipelines (idempotency, retries, monitoring/logging)
• Production LLM feature development with RAG/embeddings and practical guardrails (confidence thresholds, retrieval filters, fallbacks)
• Built evaluation loops for LLM systems (real-query test sets, human review, regression testing) and used results to reduce hallucinations
